Galanthus nivalis
Snowdrop
Common names: Small Snowdrop, Common Snowdrop
This description was machine-translated.
Description
The snowdrop is the very first herald of spring, often pushing its nodding white bell-shaped flowers through the last snow as early as February. It thrives in the wild under deciduous shrubs, forming dense white carpets over time. All parts of the plant are poisonous.
Care instructions
Plant the bulbs in September or October about 8 cm deep in humus-rich, moist soil at a semi‑shaded spot under shrubs. The best time to plant is "in the green"—right after flowering—since dry bulbs establish poorly. Leave them undisturbed, and they will naturalize on their own.
